You could try more atmo and do a crop, but it's not too bad now. What I would do is get more stuff outside, like a mountain, or trees, or whatever. It's a bit empty.

Yeah, did that to see what would come in from TG3 to TG2. Had it all set up and set to render over night and upon awaking it was 1/2 way down and I saw the grass didn't arrive(too far out)and I'd neglected to remove 2 unused Paint shaders so there was huge white areas...sigh..also I'd neglected the Alpha maps on the bamboo leaves. New render set to go again tonight with some grassy dirty hills..passed on clouds this time. And I upped the atmo to 64 from 32. I had to turn on the shadow function as I have a light inside the lamp over the couch and didn't want it burning through.

Well at last this project has come to a fitting conclusion. After 41 hrs 42 min 33 sec. it finally threw up the Finished flag. Hope t all like it. I originally started this as a Personal Benchmark but it turned out to be a lesson on how much glass and how many lights NOT to use in a render. The section with the table and candles took approx. 16 hours all by itself to finally finish; but at 36 hours I was bloody minded and decided to see how long too long is for a still test image.

I like it. It's a great render, Bobby. Grain has gone too.

OH yes - That's good!

Hey - must have been the same craftsman - my poolhouse has the same style of door handles

Thanks Ulco......I have learned to use fewer glass objects and lights...the 16 hour 2 sq. screen inches was a lesson I'll not forget heh heh heh. It's nice having higher AA, one of the 2 main reasons for rendering in TG2, the other being the 1600 x 900 size.

Thanks Doc, and it's likely, I got the models from JBJDesigns at Sharecg which is where I suspect your model came from.
